Worm Farm

A group of students in Totara 3 decided to make their own worm farm, here is a video of them making the worm farm. 

There was a lot of research that went on before creating the worm farm, the group also collects food scraps from 3 classes in the school to feed the 'tiger worms'. To show the classes what foods the worms can and cannot eat they made posters to share with those classes and also talked to the classes about it. Hopefully we will soon have worm tea to add to our garden!

Week 2!!

In Totara 3 we have been working on lots of different garden activities. We have been planting a range of vegetables that we will grow and sell, we have also set up a hydroponics system that will be growing strawberries very soon, there is also another group that has focused on non-chemical forms of pest control and there will also be a group of children who are going to be building planter boxes.
